Attached pictures of a 9-month old ScanTech passenger side motor mount, after removal. With it in, the clearance to the oil filter was down to 1/8-inch. Much less engine vibration now...go figure
==============================
This ScanTech mount was in service for 9-months. Even supporting no weight it is still deformed.



Originally in line, the mounting bolts are now offset at least 3/4-inch.



So guess what actually supported the motor?...
.
Check the wear mark on the alternator bracket...
and thanks to the turbo swaybar!!
The new Volvo mount is in the left background
